Thread: KickStart process

During a install after getting the ks file from
/depot/repos/1000/ks.cfg.xx.xx.xx.xx How does the node get the rest of the
install info(packages/scripts/etc). I would like to be able to see the
complete kickstart file before running the install on a node.

So there is no way to generate the KS file without doing a install? (like
on ocs4.x dbreport kickstart nodename)

Hi Mahmoud

No there is no dbreport kickstart, but I don't see any reason why there =
could not be. =20

Kusu was designed to support many OS's not just RHEL based ones. To do =
that it creates a small XML file when a node boots. You can see this by =
running: /depot/repos/nodeboot.cgi -d -i {IP of node}
This file is then processed to creat the kickstart, auto yast, jumpstart =
or whatever you need.=20
